Sixto, thank you so very much! Can't beleive I forgot my manners earlier...

What do you mean? Maybe need to be more clear. This is a one car garage that is fairly narrow and shelves on one side with furniture on the other. There is a auto door to the rear of the wagen and a small human door at the front driver's side. I thought a crane have to have three and a half feet of clearance?

So, pull up and part way do it? Maybe a jack with some wood do it?

This is where I wish there was locals to at least give an idea or two. A hand be nice as have to reach from the front to keep the sides even.
